It was a morning filled with nerves, excitement, and plenty of laughter as HOT 1027 Breakfast host, Simon “Parky” Parkinson, revealed his brand-new look live on Facebook – complete with a full head of hair, thanks to Advanced Hair Clinic.

The build-up had been weeks in the making, with listeners and his co-hosts teasing Parky about finally taking the plunge. After years of embracing the bald jokes, Parky admitted he was “nervous but excited” as he prepared for the big moment.

The live reveal took place at Hot House on Wednesday morning, with Bunny and Simon just as eager as the listeners to see the transformation. Parky stood hidden behind two large photos of his former self, before the dramatic countdown began.

“I arrived with no hair and left with a beautiful crop,” he said of his three-hour session at Advanced Hair Clinic. “Joburg will be the test,” he laughed, adding that he had already been given some styling wax – although figuring out how to use it might take some time.

The moment the pictures dropped to reveal his new look, Bunny could hardly contain her excitement: “That’s extraordinary! I like that there are all different kinds of shades – it’s not just one flat colour. You look great.”

The atmosphere in studio was electric, with colleagues and fans alike celebrating Parky’s fresh new chapter. It’s a partnership that not only highlights Advanced Hair Clinic’s expertise, but also adds a fun, personal twist to the HOT 1027 Breakfast show.
